English translation:a place for bathing and washing as well as serving as a lavatory (toilet)
Explanation:
XXX river is used as a place for bathing, washing as well as serving as a lavatory by the community.

Saya tidak menggunakan kata facility karena saya rasa sarana MCK (seharusnya memang) disediakan & dibangun oleh pemerintah. Jika memang ada berarti alih-alih menggunakan sarana tersebut, masyarakat menggunakan sungai untuk MCK. Jika memang tidak ada, kata sarana/fasilitas di sini berarti mengalami perluasan makna ya?

Saya sengaja tidak memadankan "kakus" di pinggir sungai dengan "toilet" walaupun sebagian orang menggunakan istilah tersebut.

... sanitation such as public bathing, washing facilities and latrines have been neglected (not optimally used .....

neutral  Evina Utami: Jika mengacu definisi "latrine" pada http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latrine, bukankah kakus di sungai termasuk kategori "open defecation" juga? CMIIW, ya Pak :)

  -> Sebenarnya sangat bertentangan dengan kebersihan dan kesehatan. Namun memang ada masyarakat di beberapa tempat yang membangunnya sebagai sarana untuk membuang hajat disamping untuk mandi dan cuci.

to bathe, to wash clothes and to defecate


Explanation:
In third-world countries, it is common for rivers to be used for all sorts of purposes, including drinking, bathing, washing dishes and clothes, defecating, urinating, feeding livestock, etc.

Example sentence(s):
  • For people living along it, the river is an essential element of life—a place to bathe, to wash clothes, to defecate and to fish.
  • The rivers they drink from are the same rivers they bathe, wash their clothes, feed their livestock, motor their boats and defecate in.
